Subject: Re: [newbie] One more zip drive question
Have you tried looking at all the boot-up messages to see how Linux
sees your zip drive? Also, is your kernel
Hi
I am currently upgrading from 5.3 to 6.0 on another computer after giving up on
this one getting my ATAPI zip drive to work.
Under 5.3, my parallel port zip drive was found. Under 6.0 during the upgrade
it wasn't. What gives here? Shouldn't a newer kernel be downward compatable?
Many thanks
Have you tried looking at all the boot-up messages to see how Linux
sees your zip drive? Also, is your kernel configured for that device?
To check the boot-up messages, create a file, myfile.
Then:
dmesg myfile
then check what's in myfile. Should tell you what Linux sees.
